As an Italian who grew up on homemade Italian food, I'm very particular--but La Conca D'Oro in Catskill absolutely deserves five stars and more! It offers a warm, old-world Italian dining experience. The atmosphere is inviting and unhurried, creating a comfortable, welcoming setting where you can settle in and enjoy the evening. The waitstaff was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and thoughtful about every detail, from keeping our water glasses filled to bringing out fresh bread. Served with smooth, savory garlic butter, the bread was warm, fragrant, and so satisfying it could easily stand on its own. I had the stuffed eggplant Parmesan, served with a salad and their creamy homemade house dressing. The dressing had a rich, balanced flavor and was an absolute highlight. My wife had the eggplant Parmesan, and we both chose the linguine. The marinara sauce was rich and flavorful, with the comforting taste and texture of a carefully prepared homemade sauce that complemented the pasta beautifully. Their wine list was wonderful, with an excellent selection to complement the meal. I enjoyed a delicious classic Chianti, which paired perfectly with the food. La Conca D'Oro is more than just a place to eat--it's somewhere to sit, talk, relax, and enjoy the people you're with. The experience reminded me of dining in Italy, where a meal isn't rushed but given time to unfold. Don't come expecting fast food; come prepared to slow down, savor each course, and enjoy a thoughtfully prepared Italian meal. read more

My wife and I went here for a dinner back in July.I made reservations and we were seated in the back were the ac was on..It was a hot muggy night and we were glad we got to sit in a cool room. We had our server come within 5 min to take our orders.I had the chicken supreme with linguine and my wife ordered the chicken francaise. I will say I wasn't expecting great results but was happy with the quality of the dish. We were served fairly quickly and it was worth the wait!. my dish was a cream sauce with mushrooms and parsley.Your order will come with hot french bread which was also very good. My wife said she would definitely come back here again. read more

Service was a bit slower than normal. Very nice staff and great owner. The food was amazing I had the fruit de mar. More than enough for two let alone one person. All meals were great. read more

The food is superb. The service is incredible. The ambiance feels cozy and traditional italian vibes. One big note: No matter what salad you order ALWAYS ask for the house dressing. You'd be a fool otherwise. My go to is the chicken formagio, the bolognese pasta, and the chicken parm. Literally everything is great. The ice box cake ia the way to go for dessert. They really care about making their patrons happy and coming back. This is my go to every Monday night. read more

My cycling group of 10 to 15 have been enjoying dinner at La Conca D'Oro for several years. Friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food. Don't pass the town of Catskill without stopping here for a meal. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great family restaurant huge portions everything is delicious. However you will probably need a takeout box to go cause most meals are good for two nights read more

Huge portions, really good food and very friendly, service! Highly recommend getting here.

So recently my wife and I were out for a day of fun with my family and a couple of their friends, and we were trying to find a place to have dinner at. We thought of a few different local places and collectively chose to eat here. Now I've never been prior but have always heard decent things about here and how the food was always good. Well sadly I have to say that this was not the case. As per the two dishes that are shown (in the photos attached) the portions aren't terrible, that's that the case for the less than stellar rating. Mostly is comes from the lack of what felt like a desire to put out a killer dish from the kitchen. It felt as if just waiting for the initial salads that came with the entrees took the better portion of half and hour to almost 45 minutes. Not sure what the delay would have been seeing that it appeared the restaurant itself was not that busy with a large quantity of people. It seemed a disarray of plate sizes and consistency among the initial salads. When I went to move my plate to place on top of my wife's, (just to clear room on the table) it was noticeable the size difference between the two. Now I have to say that the chicken spiedini was alright, lacking a bit in the department of flavor and robust aroma. It felt more like a poor attempt to convert a chicken cordon bleu sans the breading and add in artichokes and what was supposed to be a brandy cream sauce. Well unfortunately the brandy cream sauce didn't hold up to what I would have expected. It seemed lacking the flavors of the brandy and the sauce was semi watered down, almost creating a "soup" like consistency. As for the dish as a whole it had a touch too much salt added to it, almost overpowering the other flavors. My wife had the baked ziti, and she said it was alright. When she showed me the interior of what was inside, it seemed they forgot to actually add enough sauce to keep the whole dish from drying out, as well as a lack of some serious ricotta cheese. Now I've been to a few different places that are Italian restaurants and this was probably lacking that certain appeal that draws you in. The wait staff seemed to be friendly. Just our waitress seemed to be in a bit of a rush running around and semi forgetful with being attentive to refills on drinks and such. I was actually surprised that they didn't offer the table a carafe (or two because of the party size) of water just so people didn't have to constantly ask about getting refills of water, or having I reach across the entire table for glasses. For a first time visit, I didn't find the experience that appealing. Or leaving me with wanting to return for a second go around. Hopefully they can actually fix some of the issues with the kitchen (food in particular) and overall dining experience. read more

We wanted to give this restaurant 4 stars, as there were many awesome aspects of our dinner, but the clams casino were problematic. They were overcooked, dried out, and just had large pieces of bacon lying on top. There were no other ingredients; it was very disappointing. However, some of the food items were excellent. The complementary bread and butter was fantastic-the garlic infused butter was soooo good. Also, we highly recommend the house dressing on the salad that comes with entrees. My boyfriend had the veal and eggplant parm. He said the veal was a bit tough, but the dish tasted good. I had the frutti di mare and it was excellent-I highly recommend it. We ordered two cannolis to go and they were amazing. We arrived at 6 on a Saturday and by 7, it was full. The server was very attentive and helpful, but the service from the kitchen was a bit slow. The prices here are very reasonable. read more

This was one of my families GO TO restaurants for most of my life, birthdays and pre holiday dining. It was always amazing, food was always delicious. Unfortunately the last two times have not been that impressive. The first time we wrote it off as just having an off night, which is acceptable for any restaurant. But then we went a few weeks later and we were disappointed for a second time. I never veer from the Chicken supreme, after ordering it for the second time, it still had a discolored sauce, and did not taste like Marsala. I was so disappointed as this has been my all time favorite dish for more years than I can remember. I normally would not complain to the wait staff but I had to say something. I was informed that they had a new cook and there were items on the menu that were being cooked different now. I would still recommend this restaurant because some of the items that we ordered were to perfection. The atmosphere is great and the waitstaff is always very attentive. But just know that there may be some dishes that are not being held to the high standards that this restaurant was always known for. read more

Huge portions, really good food and very friendly, fast service! Highly recommend getting here.

Awful customer service, management is beyond rude and very disrespectful. Wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Used to be a friendly atmosphere and wonderful place to eat, new management is needed. Never again. read more

Oh my gosh. Literally everything on the menu sounded delicious. It was really hard to choose, but I ended up getting the ravioli which was just as a expected it. Amazing. Beautiful inside, and very VERY friendly staff and owners. I' can't wait to go back and experience more of the menu. read more

It's been several years since I've been here but since I was going to be near Catskill I knew I would have a good meal here. I made the mistake of reading google and yelp reviews prior to going and almost cancelled my reservation. I thought maybe it's not as good as it used to be. But...I went anyway. Not sure what people are encountering but mine and my partners meals were delicious as they always were. We had 2 entrees that includes salad and a carafe of wine for $62. It was well worth the money. So any old time customers or new, if you're seeing these mixed reviews don't let it deter you. The food is still good read more

Wouldn't visit this place again. We ordered eggplant parm & baked ziti. The food was very bland and didn't taste authentic. When we told the waitress we didn't like the food, she said it's a hit or miss...Really? The pizza was decent though read more

The most amazing restaurant! We discovered La Conco D'Oro during the summer and can't stay away.The owners consistently go above and beyond to provide a safe, warm environment with outstanding service and amazing cuisine! Each night the kitchen offers patrons three fabulous menus to choose from including an extensive regular menu, a specialty pizza menu, and a long list of unique chef's specials. It is never easy to choose and every appetizer, entree, and dessert is prepared to absolute perfection. Portions are plentiful, so expect to take home leftovers! We adore the outdoor patio which is surrounded by old style brick walls and decorated with lights, flowers, and an authentic iron archway entrance. The inside dining room is charming as well! A must go for everyone. Worth any travel time! On our way there again! read more

WHY did I return??? Such a disappointment. The clam appetizer was served on an escargot plate. With 6 clams that tells you how SMALL the clams were. ($10.00) The clams in the clams casino was 1/2 the size of my little finger nail. It was good but so minuscule I wasn't sure there was a clam in there. The other 2 were some kind of gloppy seasoned bread crumbs with no clam in sight. The "clams oreganato" were uneatable. The same scoop of bread crumbs as the other clam but loaded with oregano and TONS of SALT!!! The calamari was overcooked. We didn't finish it. Sauce was great and so was the bartender! The place needs an overhaul.. lots of junk around, drab, broken bar stools, one bathroom closed. Time to shut down, rehab the entire place and find a new chef. read more

The owners are very Kind and attentive. Their portions are HUGE and they still follow the old school tradition of giving a dinner salad with entrees. We always order the zuppa di pesce for one and split it between us. The presentation is impressive and the quality of fresh seafood amazing. Extra bread to sop up the fra diavalo sauce with the briny seafood broth... pure heaven. And, on the lighter fare nights, the fried calamari is MOST DEFINITELY the best in town! Their hot antipasti is splendid as well. read more

I ate here years ago so when the opportunity to dine here on my recent visit arose, I jumped at it. The service was excellent, very accommodating. Partner had the chicken parm- he loved it. I enjoyed the chicken picatta, lots and lots of capers! Grind was a little disappointed in the clams casino but,as she said, she didn't read the description of the dish carefully enough. The bread was awesome! Particularly loved the garlic butter. I recommend this place! read more

This place was a little bit of a disappointment, because it has a nice ambiance. With many open tables visible, you are still forced to wait a half hour. Service is very slow, but it's ok, this is Catskills not NYC. Food was just ok. The menu is hit or miss. Our appetizers were not good. (Stay away from the mussels, they tasted funky! Couldn't finish them). My favorite was the bread and butter in the beginning. That's about it! Haha. Needs improvement. read more

The negative reviews on this restaurant are completely ridiculous and insane! They must be by, or paid for by, competing restaurants. Pay attention to the others. I have been going here since the mid 90's when we lived across the river. We moved a lot but I always found a way to get back and it has always been great For the past 7 years, we are in Wi now for work, I have held a Hudson McGuire reunion for 15 to 25 people that come from Rochester on East. They know our names and it has always bee AAA + Enough said it is the best and yes I have had Italian in NY City, N Jersey and all the 48 lower states read more

The best in town the food is always been#1 We have been customers for Many years Cheryl is the best the drinks are tops also Keep up the good work read more

Avoid at all costs! Pasta was over cooked and yet I still got terrible food poisoning. Their carbonara is a thick cream with bacon. Only upside was the bread. read more

Love coming here when we are in the Catskills. We make the trip at least three times a year. The food is consistent and always delicious!! It is Italian food at its best for the area!! Keep up the good work!!! read more

How on earth is this anything lower than four stars??? Four and a half stars, for that matter??? I unfortunately only have the pleasure of being in the area during summers, and in recent years not as much so, but for a good number of years now I've made a point of going to this restaurant at least once a summer. Over the years, it has consistently remained my very favorite restaurant, with admittedly a few close seconds. What makes this one my favorite? Sure, it has a very nice ambience, and the staff is pretty good, but the food! Unbelievably delicious. Have their chicken supreme. It has changed the way I myself make chicken marsala, but I feel that I have yet to truly match it. Look, if you enjoy exquisite food and a warm, cozy, charming ambience, do yourself a favor and go to this restaurant, even if it is an hour's drive like it is for me when I'm in the area. It's so very much worth it! read more

The service was excellent....servers were very pleasant. The food was outstanding. My chicken was well-seasoned and tender. The sauce was delish. The portions were very generous. We will definitely return! read more

We happened into this place and found it to be terrific. We both ordered the pre-fixe and were not disappointed. The salad and french bread was fresh. My husband had a rigatoni special and I had the chicken special. The helpings were large and both left with enough for another meal. Then came the desserts. My husband had a chocolate rum cake and I had the pumpkin bread pudding. Both were scrumptious. The staff was attentive and friendly. Truly a gem! read more

The place was freezing when we arrived the evening of 11/19/16. It took about a half hour for the waitress to ask for our drink order. Our food took a ridiculous time to arrive..at least an hour. The food was cold...the cheese melted on our veal dishes had hardened due to the cold, and I sent the pasta back twice and it was still cold. I have never had cold pasta and cold sauce in an Italian restaurant. We asked them to raise the heat twice, and the place remained cold. Never again. read more

Faux, faux, faux. If this run down joke of a "restaurant" wasn't in a tiny town like Catskill, it would have lasted about a week. Don't even consider it; it is to Italian fare what bicycles are to auto racing. In the mood for Italian? Repeat after me: Ulster County. You're welcome. read more

This used to be the go to place in the area but over the past few years there has been a steady decline in food quality and service speed. The servers are nice enough, but it takes soooo long and the meal is not worth the wait. This pains me because i still go there every once in a while hoping to recapture some of the previous magic, but ultimately leave disappointed. read more

Wow very harsh reviews from people. Dont be fooled though, this place is filled with locals nearly every night for a reason. While their menu is probably too large for everything to be perfect... they make special effort on their specials. I have been there many times and we always count on a great meal and experience. I think too many citIDIOTS have judged this too harshly. read more

I would love to give this fine restaurant a 4.5 but Yelp does not provide. I would give it 5 stars, except for the loud ambient noise in this popular place (especially in the summer when the fun-loving boat people are in town). The food, however, deserves 5 stars .. the veal and chicken dishes with butter brandy cream sauce are sheer heaven with a side of spaghetti and oil. The house creamy dill salad dressing is a wonderful start to what has always been for me a most delightful meal. The Hot Antipasto and the Zuppa di Clams (with WHITE CLAM sauce, please) are outstanding. Truly, my favorite restaurant in Catskill. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. From the cranky, inept waitress to the extremely slow kitchen, this restaurant left me feeling unsatisfied and upset. Far too much time passed between when we ordered and when we received our meals. During our long wait no one checked to see if we needed more drinks--which were empty -- filled our water, asked if we wanted more bread, updated us or apologized. We were wholly abandoned. When the meals came, two of them were missing the pasta, which was a major portion of the meal. After delivering the food to the table the waitress left and never returned to check on us. The few times we interacted with her she acted annoyed and abrupt. I left the restaurant hungry, after spending far too much time waiting for a mediocre meal. I will never return. read more

Went there on Thursday night only a few tables, not busy at all. I ordered fried mozzarella and it tasted like it was cooked earlier and reheated except it was not hot and sauce was cold. Breadcrumbs were dark as if it was cooked in old grease..horrible. My Salad was ok but got crumbled blue cheese dressing and that was not what I remembered it to be, I did not enjoy it at all. My main dish came out chicken parm that wasn't too bad but again not hot. I've been going there for 30 yrs and have noticed that this resturant has been going down hill. Bathrooms are old and dirty looking, felt as uncomfortable in it as you would In a walmart bathroom if that explains it. Probably won't return which makes me sad because it has always been my favorite place and I've had a lot of great memories there but no way am I wasting my money. read more

The service was good. Waitress was very sweet and accommodating. Bread, salads and calamari appetizer were all tasty. That being said, the entrees were ehhh...the meatballs were like eating a hamburger dipped in a poorly seasoned tomato paste and in generally, everything was bland. Was a bit disappointing. read more

0 stars! One of the worst places I've ever been to. I'm a chef and I studied in Italy This is not Italian food. It is barley food. Not joking. Do not go there Me and my wife had the fried calamry, chicken Marsala and the lobster tail special. I wish we had stopped at the calamry. It was blend and over cooked and came with "marinara" sauce which I would call garlic ragu. Chunks of garlic with some tomatoes. The entrees were even worse. We had one taste of the lobster and the Marsala sauce and immediately asked for the check so we could leave. The owner does accept criticism what so ever. She was very rude and obviously missing taste buds. read more

Went here this past Saturday night for dinner with couple friends. There were 4 of us in the group. We ordered some drinks, 2 apps, and 4 entrees. We were seated at 630 and didn't get done until 930. The place was at about 50% capacity. We were never told that the service was going to be slower than usual because, as we heard the owner bark at another table, they had a big table in the other room and the kitchen was down a man. Quite honestly, not my problem, but at least let us know before so we could have picked another restaurant. The food was ok and not worth 3 hours of my time. Not just that but between the 4 of us our bill, including tip, was around $170. We left a very nice tip as it's not really the server's fault for the owner being short staffed. Not once were we even offered an apology, a drink or an app, nothing except long periods of just waiting for food. I was about to walk out when the food got to the table. Had it just been my fiancee and I we would have walked out at some point. Will I go back? Nope. I can have the same OK Italian food in my town, or any other Italian restaurant for that matter. Not worth driving 20 minutes and over the bridge. I can't recommend this place unless it's walking distance and you have time to kill. read more
